The Indian Mujahideen, which claimed responsibility for Saturday's blasts in Delhi among other such attacks across the country, has been quoting from the Quran's so-called "jehad verses" to justify its actions.
In Saturday's mail, the outfit had quoted Quran's verse no. 47, that commands "believers" to "slice their (enemies') necks; and, when you have overcome them...and bind fast the fetters". Madrasi said the outfit did not mention the line preceding this para, which is: "And when you meet in regular battle..." "Bomb blasts, which kill innocents, are not regular battles, are they?" Madrasi asked, adding one should always understand a Quranic verse within its context.
MP Mahmood Madni, a Darul scholar who had pushed for Darul's widely reported anti-terror fatwa, said the Quran prohibited taking on non-combatants.
Madrasi, however, claimed innocent Muslims were being harassed by the police, desperate for leads into recent attacks.
